Aarushi's Monster Parents...

The tulips were 'sent'' to me by our Blogdost Nitin Rai. He shot them close to his home in Oregan and promptly emailed the images in order to cheer me up! I received quite a few virtual bouquets. Thank you, all! I wasn't really depressed. Just sleep deprived1 So, after a short afternoon nap, I requested Anandita to click a more cheerful picture of me and Gong Li - surely Gong Li qualifies as the best stress buster of them all??

*******************

I wrote this on 4th January 2011.... at the time, there was much outrage at what I had suggested - that Aarushi's parents were the culprits. I received a lot of hate mail and a few nasty phone calls asking me to back off and zip up.

Well, the startling revelations by the CBI officer today insist it was Ramesh Talwar who clubbed and killed both Aarushi and Hemraj, and then slit their throats. His wife helped him to dress up the scene of the gruesome crime. What sort of monsters are these parents?? And even after the cop's testimony, will these two be convicted and punished?

Who
Killed Innocence….?

There is something
exaggeratedly sinister about the brutal twin murders of an innocent 14- year-
old girl, and the domestic who worked for the family ( nobody bothers about his
death… are you surprised?). As things stand, the case has reached a bit of a
dead end and there are any number of theories floating around. While it is true
that the media has been conducting its own trial night after night and pretty
much stating : the dad did it, the response of Aarushi’s parents has been puzzling
and bizarre , to say the least.Grieving parents behave in a different manner.
They are broken in spirit and rendered almost incoherent with grief at the loss
of a loved one. An only child at that. Not these two, though. Sorry if this
sounds like pop psychology gone wrong… but the conduct displayed by Mr. and
Mrs. Talwar appears a bit too calculated, even cold blooded to viewers. It conveys
just one thing : Catch us if you can. There is defiance and challenge built
into every statement. ‘Where is the proof? What evidence do you have?” Aarushi’s mother keeps demanding aggressively,
as if to suggest, “We’ve taken care of every small detail… covered each
track…so there!” For a mother of a dead girl to project such steely
determination during what must have been the most harrowing time of her life,
seems a bit unnatural. I have spent enough time consoling mothers who have lost
their kids to say this is perhaps the first time I have observed a mom whose
sole objective seems to be to put up a feisty defence for herself and her
husband.Both the Talwars have a script that reads like a law manual. Their
faces are stony, their eyes, strangely devoid of any emotion. When they mention
Aarushi, they could as well be discussing their neighbour’s kid.

Poor Aarushi.

God alone knows
what prompted this ghastly murder. Did the young girl witness something she
wasn’t meant to? Did she stumble across a dark and dirty family secret? Had she
become an ‘inconvenience’ to her own parents? Who was she about to embarrass –
herself or her parents? The crime has been committed by skilled, educated,
clever people – that much is obvious. The devious master plan behind destroying
key evidence and manipulating records can only be accomplished by people who
are aware of police procedures and well up on forensic investigations. The
early attempts to blame Hemraj, the slain domestic , therefore fall flat.
Similarly, the subsequent efforts to implicate three other domestics remain
equally unconvincing ( good thing those tortured and humiliated young men are
seeking compensation) .Let’s leave the bumbling CBI blokes out of this space
for now. The Aarushi murder goes beyond the killings of an only child and the
man servant. It acts as a mirror to our urban lives . Here are two busy professionals - parents who
claim they slept through the murders that were taking place a few feet away
from their own bedroom. They also slept through persistent phone calls the same
night and didn’t know who sneaked into their home at that late hour and cut the internet connection! More, they
had no idea that someone had helped himself\herself to whiskey after the
murder, and left the bottle on the table. Nor did they hear any strange
activity on the terrace even though a body was being dragged there and a heavy,
blood stained mattress was being flung out. No screams… no noises associated
with struggle…. nothing disturbed these parents. The Talwars blissfully slept
the sleep of the dead. Ironically, it was their daughter who had died!They
heard nothing… knew nothing. But were up at 6 a.m. to throw down the house keys
to the maid, call her up to Aarushi’s room and
calmly show her their daughter’s neatly covered and cleaned up body!
Unbelievable? Perhaps. But so smartly set up that the best sleuths in the land
remain baffled… and clueless!

As of now, it’s a case of the perfect murder!
Not all the top brains in the country have succeeded in getting leads that nail
the culprits. The Talwars can continue to sleep in peace. One thing they have
proved is that their nerves are made of steel. Young Aarushi has taken many
secrets to her grave. So has Hemraj, the man who was being blamed for Aarushi’s
death. Even if the culprit is eventually found, and the Talwars get off the
hook, the country will continue to be stupefied by their stellar performances
on television night after night. No tears, no sorrow. Just icy arguments proclaiming their own
innocence. Aarushi must be weeping …

Such things make me ponder, how many people behave in such a deviant manner. And deaths seem to matter only if the poor soul is someone about whom hue and hype an be raised. Sad mirror of the majority mindset.

I disagree - have you really looked at the evidence presented? The deeper you look into the case, the more the evidence points away from the parents and points towards Krishna & the servants. Have you read Avirook Sen's excellent articles on the trial? He's been covering it from Day 1.

Talwars have ex policemen helping them get rid of key evidences, top notch Lawyers to make sure they continue to sleep like dead (ha) and media spin doctors to keep their image clean. If not anything, this couple deserve a case study in criminal psychology.

One cant be sure if the parents did it..your article insinuates the crime was committed by the parents..what if the parents are indeed innocent..can anybody compensate them in such a situation..please refer to the articles on Tehelka.com and you (like me) may be inclined to change your mind on the parents' involvement in the crime(http://tehelka.com/framed-the-aarushi-hemraj-murder-case-an-investigation)

I would suggest you update yourself on the facts of the case without prejudice and any sort of pre-decided ideas as to who has committed the crime. Go into details of all test, evidences, narco test, lie detector tests, etc.These articles are not called for and I would say that you are just joining the ranks of the media that has gone ballistic with their baseless theories. I know that everyone wants some juicy story that can be discussed at the dinner table.

The Narco tests, though they are not admissible in court can and must be used to further investigate. If not then why are they done? Maybe these tests need to be brought to the forefront. What does the CBI have to hide in them? Are they afraid that these tests will call their bluff?

Is there a formula that if people behave this way or that, then they are innocent or guilty? The parents would ask for proof of their involvement in the crime because they are the accused. Insinuating that Aarushi knew of some dark secret of the family makes you no different from the top cop of UP when he said something disgustingly similar.

How do you want the parents to behave when they are up against the state? Everything they say is countered by the CBI as time-wasting tactics? And this happens at almost every step. Does this mean that in order to save the courts time they should give up their lives and state that they have killed Aarushi even though they have not? I know there are a lot of people out there who would love that. But spare a moment to think, is this a fair trial? What happens and who is responsible if and when the parents are pronounced innocent? Will a, “Oh we have made a mistake” give the Talwars back the life they have lost.

There are many who have made very strong statements against the Talwars. To them I say, read the facts thoroughly before you condemn them. Don’t use half-baked or one-sided information to form judgements and put them out in blogs that read very well.
